Do you wonder what it would be like to invite your students to join you in a virtual reality space without requiring a VR headset? This month we will explore many VR meeting spaces beginning with MootUp by LearnBrite. Explore MootUp and other VR meeting spaces in my new book, The Immersive Classroom: Create Customized Learning Experiences with AR/VR.
The beauty of virtual reality meeting spaces is the flexibility to interact and engage with students. These experiences are more difficult when only using a traditional video chat, however, MootUp can also work with video chats simultaneously. MootUp brings in 3D objects, slide shows, laser pointers, media boards, announcements, videos, and more! I shared a session at the DigCitSummit with Marialice Curran in October, and we explored some of the features. Watch a snippet of the recording below, or go to the full session at https://belouga.org/r/6oHxC.
